Correct Answer: Transferring ownership of shares
 


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Transferring ownership of shares

The primary purpose of the settlement process in trading is to facilitate the transfer of ownership of shares from the seller to the buyer. Once a trade order is executed, the settlement process ensures that the ownership rights and responsibilities related to the shares are transferred from the selling party to the buying party in a secure and regulated manner. This transfer of ownership is a crucial step in completing the trade and is essential for maintaining transparency and fairness in the securities market.
